Hello, Will have to be unsubcribing, but taking one last chance that someone knows about Thomas Shannon and Mary. They made a patent for land on bottom of South Mountain in 1740 and finally got 300 acres in 1760's. Their last 3 children were Samuel, Joseph and Mary. In the will of Thomas Shannon in 1797, York Co. Pennsylvania,. he gave son, Joseph land and house and did same for Mary Shannon and her husband, Henry Cowley. The Cowley or Cooleys had children, John, Joseph, James, Mary, Sarah and Susanna. Would anyone know how to find documentation of their births in Pa between the dates of 1780 and 1800. If, please contact me, Bobbie at [email protected] Thanks so much we are desperate for some help. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
